True diffs when storing revisions? - Stephen - 01-13-2010

Well, after six false starts, I finally found a DMS that runs "out of the box." Good job! I noticed that the version control basically stores complete copies of revisions, whether they are text or binary. Any plans to add the ability to store diff files as revisions (i.e., like RCS)? If not, it might be something I can look into doing, as most if not all the files I'm saving are HTML or OpenOffice (which are just XML files), and there would be a tremendous waste of disk space if full version revisions were saved for every checkout.

Hello and thanks.
The version control is probably going to stay the way it is. CVS and the like store copies of binaries as well (since you can't diff them), and for the most part, users of odm are storing binary formats.
